Guess he won't be kicking ass anytime soon. Strange name for a dog though . . . I named my dog "Shark".  Didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

Can I have "twelve hours" in the pool?

"   :lol: https://www.picgifs.com/emoticons/smileys-and-emoticons/cycling/smileys-cycling-...

There are none so blind as those who will not see.  Just thought I'd mention that I also responded to Meth-head by PM, as he suggested, as follows: 4. How is user discipline enforced? Indirectly. Aside from FC harassment, you may get a listing of the site rules the first time you open the program. I...

We CAN NOT let this year end... .... then we’d be admitting that 2021! Frankly, I'd be willing to admit the year ends 11/30 and skip all of December — yes, even Christmas! — if it means we get rid of Trump that much faster. https://www.picgifs.com/emoticons/smileys-and-emoticons/cycling/smileys-cyc...

Thus concludes the song of Hiawatha. I suppose I should thank Meth-head for letting me add to the accumulated and ever-increasing wealth of fine literature on this board, a trend for which he seems to have single-handedly responsible. I now depart this thread, but I leave you with this — courtesy of...

The Song of Hiawatha 1855 XXII: Hiawatha's Departure By the shore of Gitche Gumee, By the shining Big-Sea-Water, At the doorway of his wigwam, In the pleasant Summer morning, Hiawatha stood and waited. All the air was full of freshness, All the earth was bright and joyous, And before him, through th...

The Song of Hiawatha 1855 XXI: The White Man's Foot In his lodge beside a river, Close beside a frozen river, Sat an old man, sad and lonely. White his hair was as a snow-drift; Dull and low his fire was burning, And the old man shook and trembled, Folded in his Waubewyon, In his tattered white-skin...

The Song of Hiawatha 1855 XX: The Famine Oh the long and dreary Winter! Oh the cold and cruel Winter! Ever thicker, thicker, thicker Froze the ice on lake and river, Ever deeper, deeper, deeper Fell the snow o'er all the landscape, Fell the covering snow, and drifted Through the forest, round the vi...

The Song of Hiawatha 1855 XIX: The Ghosts Never stoops the soaring vulture On his quarry in the desert, On the sick or wounded bison, But another vulture, watching From his high aerial look-out, Sees the downward plunge, and follows; And a third pursues the second, Coming from the invisible ether, F...

The Song of Hiawatha 1855 XVIII: The Death of Kwasind Far and wide among the nations Spread the name and fame of Kwasind; No man dared to strive with Kwasind, No man could compete with Kwasind. But the mischievous Puk-Wudjies, They the envious Little People, They the fairies and the pygmies, Plotted...

The Song of Hiawatha 1855 XVII: The Hunting of Pau-Puk-Keewis Full of wrath was Hiawatha When he came into the village, Found the people in confusion, Heard of all the misdemeanors, All the malice and the mischief, Of the cunning Pau-Puk-Keewis. Hard his breath came through his nostrils, Through his...

The Song of Hiawatha 1855 XVI: Pau-Puk-Keewis You shall hear how Pau-Puk-Keewis, He, the handsome Yenadizze, Whom the people called the Storm-Fool, Vexed the village with disturbance; You shall hear of all his mischief, And his flight from Hiawatha, And his wondrous transmigrations, And the end of h...

The Song of Hiawatha 1855 XV: Hiawatha's Lamentation In those days the Evil Spirits, All the Manitos of mischief, Fearing Hiawatha's wisdom, And his love for Chibiabos, Jealous of their faithful friendship, And their noble words and actions, Made at length a league against them, To molest them and d...

The Song of Hiawatha 1855 XIV: Picture-Writing In those days said Hiawatha, "Lo! how all things fade and perish! From the memory of the old men Pass away the great traditions, The achievements of the warriors, The adventures of the hunters, All the wisdom of the Medas, All the craft of the Wabenos, ...

The Song of Hiawatha 1855 XIII: Blessing the Cornfields Sing, O Song of Hiawatha, Of the happy days that followed, In the land of the Ojibways, In the pleasant land and peaceful! Sing the mysteries of Mondamin, Sing the Blessing of the Cornfields! Buried was the bloody hatchet, Buried was the dreadf...

The Song of Hiawatha 1855 XII: The Son of the Evening Star Can it be the sun descending O'er the level plain of water? Or the Red Swan floating, flying, Wounded by the magic arrow, Staining all the waves with crimson, With the crimson of its life-blood, Filling all the air with splendor, With the sp...

The Song of Hiawatha 1855 XI: Hiawatha's Wedding-Feast You shall hear how Pau-Puk-Keewis, How the handsome Yenadizze Danced at Hiawatha's wedding; How the gentle Chibiabos, He the sweetest of musicians, Sang his songs of love and longing; How Iagoo, the great boaster, He the marvellous story-teller,...

The Song of Hiawatha 1855 X: Hiawatha's Wooing "As unto the bow the cord is, So unto the man is woman, Though she bends him, she obeys him, Though she draws him, yet she follows, Useless each without the other!" Thus the youthful Hiawatha Said within himself and pondered, Much perplexed by various f...

The Song of Hiawatha 1855 IX: Hiawatha And The Pearl Feather On the shores of Gitche Gumee, Of the shining Big-Sea-Water, Stood Nokomis, the old woman, Pointing with her finger westward, O'er the water pointing westward, To the purple clouds of sunset. Fiercely the red sun descending Burned his way ...

Through the...
